Manufacturing, Materials, and Components

摘要

At least 20% of the exhibitors were showing manufacturing equipment, testing equipment, materials, or components, making SID 2000 a sizable display-manufacturing show. This year, 240 exhibitors occupied a whopping 435 booths at the 2000 SID International Symposium, Seminar & Exhibition in Long Beach, California, which is a 7% increase over the booth space used at last year's conference. If one were present from the initial opening moment on Tuesday morning through the close on Thursday afternoon, one would have been able to spend just 3 minutes at each booth in order to cover the entire floor. And trying to speed up the process by stopping only at the booths that had displays would have meant missing some of the most interesting exhibits of all: a wide range of new manufacturing-related items, from films for rear-projection screens, to manufacturing equipment, to test and measurement devices.
